At the AI for Good Summit in Geneva, a robot dog walking on a leash drew significant attention. It is actually a personal robot capable of switching between a quadruped form and a humanoid form.
The post highlights that its design focuses on navigating complex terrains. In dog mode, it can climb 18cm steps and handle 35° slopes. In humanoid mode, it operates quietly, following the user like a "companion." The author emphasizes that the robot is designed for personal use": standing about 80cm tall, it is backpack-friendly and supports the addition of custom behaviors.
